Update:The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

Has Italy been on your mind lately? Well, you’re in luck, because there’s a great flight deal to the nation’s cosmopolitan fashion capital on American Airlines right now.

Let’s take a look at this excellent deal!

Fare Deal — Details

This deal is on American Airlines between San Francisco (SFO) and Milan (MXP), with a stop both ways in New York (JFK). The deal is a mixed-cabin itinerary, with the SFO-JFK leg in economy and the JFK-MXP leg in premium economy.

Still, this is a pretty good deal, especially considering that the roughly 8-hour flight between New York and Milan is in premium economy, so it’s still worth checking out.

You can play around with dates on Google Flights and book through American. Note that if you do book through Google Flights, make sure to select the “Premium Economy” option and not “Main Plus,” as the latter doesn’t include premium economy.

• Class: Premium Economy/Economy
• Routes: San Francisco (SFO) to Milan (MXP)
• Dates: October 2023 to March 2024
• Rates: As low as $1,166 round-trip
